END OF RACISM in America
55Personal Histroy
First, take a white woman, 2nd generation German, marrying a man, American Indian; when it was illegal in Alabama to be American Indian. Then conceiving a male child. Push that child through WWII, and '50s of racial hatred of the Deep South and educated in the New Orleans public school system. His maternal grandfather, a lifelong Democrat (102 years) voting for Eisenhower because Stevenson, "will let the niggers in school with our white girls". He died before Little Rock. His paternal grandfather, that had seen his son horse whipped by the KKK because his son refused to quit school (because everybody knows what Indians do to white women) and he hated all white people, blacks were second on the list. But, who loved his grandson and tribe beyond reason.
Second, take that boy and have him marry a JAP girl, Jewish American Princess. She is born of a New Orleans Jewish woman and a New York Jewish man; raising her in the old-line New Orleans Jewish tradition. They will shun their daughter because of her choice. Her maternal grandmother asks her, "You are not going to marry that black thing are you? All of your children will have kinky hair and big lips!" The boy's mother is not very happy about him marrying a "Christ Killer" either.
Third, they conceive a son. The son becomes every Jewish mother's dream - an Attorney! This son marries a PR\Black girl. (That's right Puerto Rican and BLACK!)
Fourth, have them present to us two beautiful grand daughters. And by the way, they are articulate and very clean.
Fifth, watch an old man, once a boy, making a fool of himself hugging, nuzzling them; attempting to get them to giggle and laugh!
Sixth, at a family reunion someone asked my wife, "Who do those nappy headed babies belong to." My wife whirled around and said, "Their MINE! Do you have a problem with that?"
And bingo, END OF RACISM in America!

Thank-you.
I meant to make a comment on your hub on cats, but a heart attack intervened. I'm a dog person but at my age dogs are too labor intensive; so now I'm a cat lover.
A very nice way to address racism! With the possibilities of travelling, migration, and increased number of inter-racial marriages, there is a little left of a "pure ethnicity". With that in mind, there are less and less reasons to judge others by their appearance.

Great story and isn't it a shame that we have so many labels that always seem to be derogatory?
Cute kid with the BIG brown eyes!
I am just boring old white anglo saxon from white anglo saxon stock until we discovered one day, to the horror of the olds, that my grandfather had Albanian ancestors!! Shock horror! but I now know where the easy-tan skin comes from!
My other problem is that I just see people so often get into trouble for being interested in people without considering skin colour before I make up my mind about them - what a rebel.
